PCI slot 1 (PCI 1) PCI slot 2 (PCI 2) Adapter considerations Before you install adapters, review the following: v Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions in this chapter. v If you need to change the switch settings or jumper settings on your adapter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter. v You can install 32-bit full-length or half-length adapters in the expansion slots. Full-length adapters are installed in slot 1 only; half-length adapters are installed in either slot 1 or 2. v Your server supports 5.0 V and universal PCI adapters; it does not support 3.3 V only adapters. v Your server uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI adapters. You can use this technique to install PCI adapters that currently do not support sharing of PCI interrupts. v The system scans PCI slots to assign system resources. By default the system starts (boots) the CD-ROM and diskette drives first. Then it starts PCI slot 2, PCI slot 1, and the integrated Ethernet. Note: You can use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to change the boot precedence for your server. Select Start Options from the Configuration/Setup Utility program main menu.
